Cranberry Days Mailart Show!

2010-05-07T09:24:00.001-07:00

Wahooo! All the mailart received to date was dropped off at Painted Planet this Wednesday to start being hung for the show! Wahooo! Special thanks to Jackie Gregory for her contribution to the fundraising efforts. On Wednesday my curiosity got the best of me and I opened what was in the mailart purse...(I was doing to try to not open it and just let the person that purchased it for the fundraiser get the surprise, but it was too much for the ol' curiosity factor!) Thank you so much for being the first cash donation to this show to benefit cancer research!!! As soon as I get pics of the artwork hung, I'll post on the blog! Thank you everyone for your contributions to the show!!!

"There is only one great postcard in the world & every mail artist sends it." OH, SO TRUE! It is always so much fun to send out mailart and every piece I get to send feels like the greatest one yet. :) Thank you so much for all your contributions and your creative work!

Richard writes...
I found this cardboard box in teh street & now it's "art". Who said so? I said so. Artists create their own little world. Everybody knows that.(& how nice of you not to mention that the world is also full of delusional peopel.) & so, I'm gonna go one step further. This postcard is also worth money. Think of it liek a "coupon". Just clip and return to me the bottom right hand corner of this postcard & I will send you 2 dollars in cash. Don't forget your name & address. & that's just a sample of how valuable this piece of cardboard is really worth. Signed, Richard
